YouTube TV users get a higher-quality video option for everything from watching their favorite shows to watching live sports. Google is rolling out a new setting called 1080p Enhanced for YouTube TV and Primetime Channels subscribers. The 1080p Enhanced setting improves the existing 1080p60 resolution with an increased bitrate.
YouTube TV updates itself with new features
Google confirmed the update after a Reddit user posted about the update on the platform. According to the responses, the 1080p Enhanced setting offers the highest video quality. Reddit users who already have access to 1080p Enhanced are reporting that the resolution is available for all of the same channels as 1080p60, such as Paramount and Syfy. The 1080p Enhanced option also follows YouTube Premium, which improves video quality for subscribers on the company’s original platform.
In this case, all YouTube TV and Primetime Channels subscribers with an updated 4K-compatible streaming device should gain access to this option by accessing the video quality settings. However, Google discovered a bug that prevents users from manually selecting 1080p Enhanced. However, the company stated that the bug did not affect picture quality and that it was working to fix the problem.
